A native Angeleno, Mike Hernandez is a plein air painter skilled in gouache, oil and acrylic, who’s works have been featured in several on-line publications as well as galleries. His process began as a young child, painting still life images. Influenced by the likes of Edgar Payne, Sorolla and Franz Bischoff, Mike soon explored the foundations of color and light in the outdoors – striving to find the beauty in the ordinary. With a palette that resides at the crossroads between industrial and landscapes, he finds inspiration anywhere from the Eastern Sierra range to the muddy concrete banks of the Los Angeles River. Mike studied at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, graduating with a B.A. in 1998. Mike was a Production Designer and Art Director as well as a concept artist at Dreamworks Animation and worked on such films as Shrek, How to train your Dragon, Turbo, Penguins of Madagascar and many other films. Mike is also a member of a limited group of the finest painters in the US called PAPA as well as a nation-wide sought-after workshop instructor. His works can be found in several private collections around the world. www.mhernandezvisuals.com www.Mike Hernandez Art.com Instagram @squatchgouache

Testimonials

“Mike Hernandez is a brilliant artist and an excellent instructor. Class structure supporting him was organized, with succinct descriptions of step-by-step process. I've never seen anyone mix color like him! There were questions, but no distractions. His assistants supported Mike's focus on instruction. Very challenging class for me, I learned so much more about painting than I expected.”
